Thanks again for posting it! To me the WW game is therapeutical! Haha...when I want a brake from the world (and parenting with two under 3 year old kids) I jump into the portal interstellar to 'neverland' and I am as happy as it can be! That's how a feel!

Hey Fastvegan digging some more info on the xpedo pedals, I believe that what you've done with your M-Force 8Ti is basically a identical pedal comparing to the their road version R-FORCE TI. Looks like they even use the same exact cleat but there is an additional piece that goes on the road version. Even on weight they became equal!
I actually got quite interested in trying the road version as a Mtb pedal...should work fine.

You are correct, those pedals were what got me thinking about one sided spd. I was going to buy them, but decided to turn a set I had into one sided and it worked! No need to spend money when you don't have to.

Real good! I can't really do that with my M-FORCE 4 TI because both ends are a single piece dependable to each other on both sides (if that makes sense). I would need to go after the R-force. I'm still wondering if the R-force really does work with spd cleats.

Are you thinking about rigid fork?? You will be very close to 6kg.
I'm curious how the ride is. How does it compare to other bikes you have/had? Has it been durable?
Great build, not sure I'd go single sided pedal myself (the photo's show how the 'rest) but a good effort!
I do like the Durin forks (my son has them on his in 120mm flavour), just couldn't get a set at the right price for mine so using the ubiquitous SID's!

Impoverished weight weenie wanna-be!

What started out as a project at home in my workshop (albeit a pretty extensive engineering studio) to put together the lightest dual suspension bike for my daughter at age 3, I got a little carried away. (I realized this when ordering custom made titanium fasteners for the frame). The result has come up as such a beautiful creation that I had to share it with this community. I scoured WW for information on a light (I mean really light) kids bike and came up about as short as my daughter. The bike is now at the 6 generation stage and is genuinely fast. I got the weight down to 6.85kg (15.1 pound)for a full dual suspension bike - it's a pity it is only 20" wheel and the rider limit is 55 pounds. I am confident gen 7 will drop another pound and a half ! Hope it goes down well.
